Help with homebrew

[Doom_master1122]

I want to homebrew on my Dreamcast
It has the 1 on teh bottom and its NTSC.
Now i ran the Nester emulator that makes the Nero image for me. i burned it to a CD-R 700MB Disc.
I put it in my Dreamcast and it didnt work.

Whats wrong?

Some more information would be helpful, CD brand, burn speed, date the Dreamcast was made...

sure
Cd brand----- Memorex
Burnspeed--- 4x 6,000 kb
Year----- 1999

i have 3 discs of homebrew i got some where before (was given to me) with sega roms and snes roms, so its not the year. they still work.

what version of nero do you have?

[Doom_master1122]

Idk honestly i think i have 6.
it looks farely new.
I dont burn CD's often so idk much about nero. I think it is 6.

[Doom_master1122]

Yes it is 6. but i just got 5.5.9.0.
But it isnt recognizing my Recorder, i think, because it is saving as a ISO file in my computer instead of burning
Any ideas

download bootdreams (http://dreamcast.dcemu.co.uk/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,8,468) instead, it makes dreamcast homebrew images and can also burn .cdi (discjuggler images)

oh yeah nero 6 does not burn homebrew properly, if its a DOA, but does work if you make the image a TOA (DOA works with nero 5). but it would be simpler to use bootdreams
